By EDWARD V. MCCARTHY
New York - (UPD - Police
Commissioner Stephen P.
Kennedy, boss ot New York
City's 24,000 man force, is ot
the opinion that a policeman
may be assigned to work only
eight out of every 24 hours r
but that he is on duty for all
24. .-
: Therefore, opines Kennedy,
a cop can't very well hold an
outside Job while off-duty and
still be doing his police Job
properly.
The city policemen, . most
of them young, married, ieea
lne anywhere from two to six
children, paying off home
and - or car mortgages, prefer
to earn an honest dollar or
two off duty to try and make
ends meet. - '
One patrolman told this re
porter: "You'd think Kennedy
would be glad to see us take
outside jobs in legitimate
work."
. "After all," the bluecoat
noted, "a cop who spends his
free time working hard for
his family .isn't likely to be
hanging out in bars, messing
around with the wrong kind
of characters or using his
service pistol to pull stickups
to pay his bills."
How does the situation be
tween Kennedy and his men
relate to those of other major
United States cities? Do they
have the same problem?
Moonlighting In L.A.
" In Los Angeles, where the
average policeman gets near
ly $200 a year more than his
New York counterpart, police
officers are permitted to hold
outside jobs, but at a maxi
mum of only IS hours per
week after department ap
proval. - They cannot hold Jobs under
union supervision. Such jobs
as acting as bouncer in a bar
room are forbidden.
' Los Angeles cops may work
off-duty for the movie Indus
try, at $3.43 an hour, while
outdoor location shots are
filmed. They also are permit
ted to work in plain-clothes In
department stores to prevent
shoplifting during the holiday
season.
A New York City cop,
aware of this practice, notes
that by working in the store,
the store gets expert police
help; the policeman involved
picks up needed extra money:
and the city is saved the cost
of assigning somebody to pro
tect the store.
Allowed in Texas
Dallas, Tex., policemen also
are permitted officially to
moonlight. Police Chief Jess
Curry estimates about 40 per
cent of his 1,025 men have
taken advantage of this chance
to supplement their top an
nual salary of $3,172.
Curry says outside work Is
-okay with him as long as it
does not Interfere with
policeman's Job.
- Police in Philadelphia, Pa.,
may work outside if there is
no conflict of interest, thus
adding to their present top
pay of $5,540. Relations be
tween the police commission-
'er and the Fraternal Order of
Policemen, a non-union group
'representing the men, are de
scribed as "excellent."

Detroit, where the top pay for
patrolmen Is $6,057.
Morale of the police in
1950. was reported low when
Police Commissioner Herbert
W. Hart took over, but im
proved when he permitted the
department's two "social" or
ganizations - the Detroit Po
lice Officers association and
the Association of Lieutenants
and Sergeants - to send repre
sentatives to the council bud
get meetings.
Despite a $200 a year pay
increase gained this year by
the men through this policy,
the rank and filers complain
they still are underpaid,
Not Likely To Chang
No outside work Is permit
ted by members of the force
of Newark, N.J., just across
the Hudson river from New
York City.
This has always been a de
partment rule, and is not
likely to bo changed by Po
lice Director Joseph Weldon
a graduate of the New York
City police force, where he
was an inspector before he
took his present job.
Newark policemen were
getting a top annual salary
of $3,700 in 1950 - and get
only $5,400 today, although
the cost of living is pretty
much comparable with that of
their brother officers across
the river.

Lynn W.
Watkins
(Ret liter It Tribune Syndicate, 1861)
If any of the family had a
cinder, or any other loreign
object in the eye, grand
mother had a ready remedy-
a small, yellow seed which
she placed In the affectea eye.
It was a flaxseed and
granny said, because the seed
was so smooth and shiny it
would skate around in the
eye and dislodge the offend
ing cinder, sawdust, or any
thing else that was in there.
After the offending object was
dislodged, the flaxseed would
easily pop out by itself.
And, too, flaxseed ground
up In an old coffee mill and
cooked until soft was used
as a poultice for the "drawing
out" of boils. Some pioneer
families, as well as some folks
today, have used "flaxseed
poultices" as a remedy for
ulcerated teeth. The poultice
was reported to have terrific
drawing powers.
Not surprising that flax
seed, as well as the fiber
from the inner bark of the
flax plant, has had so many,
and varied uses, aside from
the making of linen and oil,
for this slender, erect plant
with the lance-like leaves, and
delicate blue flowers, has
been extensively cultivated
since the very dawn of his
tory.
The seeds of the flax plant
are about as Important as the
fiber; from them come linseed
oil. Because this oil absorbs
oxygen about as fast as any
known oil, it is much used as
a dryer for paints, as well as
in "the manufacture of many
other products. "Oil-cake," the
residue left after the oil is
pressed out, is a valuable feed
for livestock. The name lin
seed and flaxseed are inter
changeable, both mean the
seed of the flax plant.
The flax plant is a little
particular where it grows the
best; it is claimed that flax
grown on certain hillsides,
lacing the sea, and bathed by
fog, and kissed by the sun,
produce the very best flax
for the finer grades of linen.
A few generations ago, and
right here in America, there
were in use many strange
and unusual remedies used in
the home treatment of human
disorders. There was "bumble
bee honey" for earache, or
eating a live spider to cure
fever, or even putting a
flaxseed in the human eye to
chase out a foreign object.
with department approval at
outside jobs.
The Chicago department is
recovering from scandals
which shook it about a year
ago when some members of
the force were charged with
being members of a burglary
ring.
This led to a top level
shakeup and appointment of
a new police superintendent,
Orlando Wilson, former pro
fessor at the University of
California.
Observers of the depart
ment note that many of the
patrolmen are not happy
about Wilson's reforms and re
organization, but their atti
tude is that this has happened
before and they'll ride it out.
San Francisco police, who
have a maximum salary of
$7,152 a year, are not per
mitted outside Jobs, but their
morale is reported high and
relations with Chief Thomas
Cahill, a former patrolman,
are said to be good.

Fluctuations in Italian Stock
Market Attract U.S. Investor
By HENRY J. BECHTOLD
UPI Financial Editor
New York-OIPD-In Italy, a
land where emotions can run
high, it is natural to expect
j wide xiuctua-
tline Irt etrxxlr
prices. But ac
tion in the
stock market
in 1960 went
far beyond ex
pectations. This prompt
ed Arthur
W i esenberger
Henry Bechtold of the invest
ment firm bearing his name
to go abroad and take a closer
look at the Italian stock
market.
He found that 1960 was an
Italian speculator's paradise
or Hades. Fluctuations on the
leading Italian stock exchang
es made the New York mar
kets look like a very tame
affair, he declared.
An index of 55 leading Ital
ian securities rose in a near
straight line from June, 1958
to September, 1960, for a gain
of 240 per cent. Thereafter,
wide daily swings of as much
as 10 per cent (the equal of
60 points in the Dow-Jones
Industrial average) were seen,
10 cents for each pattern for

and by the end of November
prices were 32 per cent be
low the September peak.
Wider Swings
Individual securities show
ed even wider swings, Wiesen
berger. reported. "Anic,"
Italy's leading petrochemical
producer, jumped 235 per cent
from its 1960 low to its high,
but finished the year up xinly
91 per cent from its low.
Snia-Viscosa, largest textile
producer, saw its stock rise
226 per cent from its low but
close 74 per cent above it.
Mediobanca, leading finance
and investment banking group
rose 210 per cent from its
low only to close 84 per cent
above it.
Wiesenberger attributed the
sharp rise in Italian stock
prices in recent years mainly
to the changed attitude on the
part of the investor. As in
this country, he said, the
search for capital growth and
capital appreciation played a
dominant role, with dividend
return a seemingly minor con
sideration. He noted that the index of
55 leading Italian securities
rose 73 per cent from its 1960
low to its high, and at the
peak the yield was only 2
per cent on average, against
3 per cent at the yearend and
5.2 per cent in June, 1958.
Italy's economy has been
sound in recent years and in
creasing steadily, but not
nearly at a high enough rate
to justify the great bull mar
ket in Italian stock prices.
The rate of growth has slowed
in recent months, but the
outlook continues favorable
for 1961.
In the late stages of the
rise in stocks, speculation was
rampant, Wiesenberger report
ed. Italian speculators, often
trading on narrow margins,
were forced to liquidate when
the market broke in Septem
ber, while speculative short
selling fed the reaction.
Substantial additional specu
lation, he said, emanated from
Germany and1 Switzerland.
Now, he declared, the mar
ket appears to be in a health
ier state. With much of the
weak speculation eliminated
and recently imposed restric
tions on margin buying, the
market may look forward to
a more normal course. -
